[Yuna]: Are you going to yell at me?

[Edward]: Would it do any good?

[Yuna]: No.

[Edward]: That I won’t bother. Besides I’ve never been much of a disciplinarian.

[Yuna]: Don’t I know it. More of Nonno and Halmoni’s wheelhouse.

[Edward]: Is that why? Because I was never strict with you, you decided to disappear for ten years?

[Yuna]: I thought you weren’t going to yell.

[Edward]: I’m not yelling, I’m asking you a question.

[Edward]: I just don’t think you understand how terrifying it was to get a call from your school that just said you were missing. And that’s it. No updates. We didn’t even know if you were alive until you texted Rainn out of the blue. And just an I’m alright, don’t ask where I am. For ten years, Yuna.

[Edward]: I mean I never thought I was getting the Father of the Year award, but I didn’t think I was so bad you wouldn’t think you could come home. You didn’t have to raise Junior on your own.

[Yuna]: You didn’t raise me.

[Edward]: ...What?

[Yuna]: I mean, you didn't. Did you? I know you love me, Dad, but you didn't want me. Not at first. Nonno and Halmoni were the one's that were always there. And--Y'know I'm over it now. The more I grew up and now, with Junior. I get it, I understand now. I don't blame you anymore. But back then? I was just a kid.

[Edward]: I...had no idea you felt that way.

[Yuna]: Kind of the point.

[Edward]: Right, sorry. No, but truly. Yuna I am sorry. You're right about all of it. I just...wish you'd told me.

[Yuna]: How could I have? When they taught me to be so independent?

[Edward]: ...Losing them was...

[Yuna]: We never talked about it. Them, not after.

[Edward]: I'm even more sorry for that, that it took this for us to finally sit down and talk about it. I put too much pressure on you, we all did--when we should've been supporting you. I see that now.

[Yuna]: I didn't know how to tell you about Junior. I was afraid of how you'd react. I panicked. And it was just easier to pretend that I didn't have to go back. To face you. To know how disappointed I would have made them...how disappointed you would have been. I should have called. I should have told you all this instead of hiding. But I just didn't know how.

[Yuna]: You're a hard person to live up to, Dad.

[Edward]: Want to hear a secret?

[Yuna]: Yeah.

[Edward]: You never had to.

[Edward]: You were always perfect, just the way you are. Even when I couldn't see it.

[Yuna]: Cheesy.

[Edward]: That's me, Mr. Cheesy Extraordinaire.

[Yuna]: I love you, Dad. I'm sorry for all of it.

[Edward]: I know, I love you too. We'll be better from now on. As long as you aren't planning on disappearing again?

[Yuna]: Nope. Think I'm done being the estranged family member for the time being.

[Edward]: Good! Have fun calling your mother bright and early tomorrow morning.

[Yuna]: Boo. Throwing me to the sharks already?

[Edward]: Think that's bad? Wait 'til the wedding.

When other Yellowjackets fans, majority who are poc themselves, talk about how weird and frustrating it is that the writers introduced a random yte character and gave them a storyline when there were two (technically three but they killed off Lottie even when there was an opportunity for more) woc, who have been around since s1, that could've fit the mold instead (like Mari) and have actual personalities outside of building up/being the lapdog for another character. Or how often times many of the, limited, poc characters are often either treated poorly and killed off, or pushed to the side (Simone, reduced to the disposable black girlfriend trope and is nearly killed by her partner because she's in the way of a ship; Travis, since s1, had his trauma dismissed or ignored and was overly hated but no one talks about how he was SA'd by the girls he's now stuck with on top of having to eat his brother and not be able to grieve over it). How Taissa's whole storyline is just revolving around Van even with all the potential, especially given she's fighting to be free from her own mind, how Lottie's mental illness is treated so poorly as if it's not the butt of a joke then it's met with heavy criticism (and the only time she is met with sympathy for it, it's through the lens of a yte character embodying her and having an emotional conversation with her father). How you can have all of these reasons (and more) for being annoyed by Melissa's character or the direction of the show, and be met with #those fans downplaying these concerns, or just being overly antagonistic just because they find yte character #243 entertaining so obviously these conversations don't have merit. But this fandom has always had an...."interesting" way in which it discussed the poc characters on the show, so I'm not surprised.

hi im back

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

[skywalkr-nberrie]

Friendly reminder that in the original script for ROTS, Padmé tells Anakin even after finding out the truth of his fall that she’d never stop loving him. (Yes, after hearing about all he’s done.)

195 EXT. MUSTAFAR-LANDING PLATFORM-DAY

PADME: I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. I'll never stop loving you, but you are going down a path I can't follow.

[heartavenue]

script that there is ALWAYS something to eat in your refrigerator/pantry and that there are NO processing fees for when you use your card and not cash!

community if they did a house md parody episode idk

[cold open, pierce is inflicted with a mysterious illness after a trip overseas, which he insists is just a cold. (he's displaying flu-like symptoms and his nose started bleeding) abed takes it upon himself to find out what it is, obviously taking the role of house]

abed: i'll need 3 of you guys to help me and inevitably do most of the work, everyone make your cases

britta: abed, none of us are doctors, and dont you think we should just believe pierce when he says he has a cold? i mean, he's the one experiencing the symptoms

annie: i dont know, i think it's fun! plus it's not like it'll do any harm to see if it's anything different

abed: annie, britta, you're both on the team

britta: what? why?

annie: yay!

jeff: what's next, you're all gonna gather in your dorm and write all of pierce's symptoms on a whiteboard?

abed: you're on too, jeff. you're the most like me out of all of us

jeff: what?

troy: what? :(

jeff, already getting up to join the other 3: i am not the most like you

abed: your ability to disagree with me is exactly why you'd be good for the team

troy: but what about me? D:

abed: do you think you have the ability to tell me no?

troy: no

abed: good. you're the one who's gonna approve all of the treatments and tests we're gonna do

troy, under his breath: yessssss

pierce: dont you think this is all a bit unnecessary? i mean, i dont understand what all the fuss is abou-

*pierce throws up to his right, shirley shrieks and promptly stands up*

shirley: if i'm not needed for this little game of hospital, i have a child at home who is actually sick and i'd like to go and take care of him

abed: no you dont need to do anything, not unless it's cancer

troy: IT COULD BE CANCER??

*intro*

bonus under cut!

heres some bits and jokes that i couldnt think of how to make a full scene

abed figures out that pierce has heat stroke, nose bleed unrelated.

b plot is shirley at home taking care of her son, dealing with the guilt of not being at home as much as she'd like

[quietwingsinthesky]

the thing is, i don’t disagree that what and how you choose to write about things is a reflection of you, the writer, and cannot be divorced from your beliefs and biases. but to assume that anyone can perfectly pick out your beliefs from a piece of fiction you’ve written is an extremely weird and paranoid thing to claim, especially if you’re positing that the secret truth is that the writer is a dangerous person and they’re “revealing” that through fiction that upsets you, personally. at the end of the day, the artist is not the art, and no matter how upsetting, no matter how much you dislike it, no matter how much it disgusts you, you don’t know the person who made it and you can only guess how who they are shaped what they made.

like, really, is it more likely that the secret “belief” that’s being revealed when you’re reading something that is really upsetting to you is that the author is a secret Bad Person™️ who wants all of this fantasy to happen in real life, or that the author knows it’s a safe and normal thing to create upsetting works of fiction and so did that.

Bro I get so upset at the things that say “take a break from shifting”

Like homeboy I can’t! spirituality and shifting is my special interest. I eat sleep and breathe shifting. 😭

*ignore the crunchy bag* This is proof of concept to see if I could get it working. 😋

So...has anyone been able to successfully clone the University backpack and make it show up in game/function?

I tried working on this in 2015ish and never got this far with it. (I do visit old projects from time to time) This time I got a default replacement to work. But I have no idea how that would affect the npc backpack that also use/spawn. Not sure if the mesh is pulled from the main file because there are 14 other versions of the same backpack. The developers did this really strange for sure. (we won't talk about the geostates) The XML just says how it numbers the bags 1-14 and chooses randomly for the npcs to wear at University.

Anyone have any ideas? Or who to ask?

[starscream-is-my-wife]

Unfortunately, we will never see the script for the synopsis of fire on the moutain, but there are small differences for the revised script and the revised final script that changes the vibe

Like in the revised script, Thundercracker holds more contempt for both Megatron and Starscream, his reasoning for not attacking Skyfire is that it would make both of those guys lives harder, and he would be happy because of it!

I love how he monolouges this to Skyfire as he just stands there in shock

Until Starscream appears and once again, wrecks Skyfires shit, also we get to see that Starscream coldness from fire in the sky. Then he's quite confident that Megatron would listen to him about traitors????

"They exchange glances, and we can see that there's no love between these two" is such a good line and why I'm making this post

Starscream furious that his trinemate was planning to betray him with someone that has betrayed him in the past. Thundercracker seething because his chance to do something that he feels was.. right? His moment of rebellion? Whatever it is, it's out of his grasp, his ticket to doing so was was harmed by Starscream and he's now blackmailed into doing his bidding

Then theres Megatron, who knows the both of them are traitorous, and seems to almost enjoy it?? Damn no wonder why Skywarp is his least favorite...

This is the final script, where Thundercracker DOES want to impress Megatron but doesn't like Starscream because he would take all of the credit, so instead of an act of defiance to the decepticon ideology, it's a ploy to make him look better to Megatron

But maybe it would have been better for him to be more traitorous because now Megatron wants to replace them both with Skyfire (and once again Skywarp isn't even on his mind)

The no love line does have kind of a new meaning here, where it seems like they're both fighting over Megatron and Megatron is rage baiting them both

Please tell me what you hate about TotK

ÖwÖ !

how much time do you have? and how much do you want to read? bc i deeply hate everything about totk (for many many reasons that cant just be dismissed as just 'not my taste' or similar, i dont hate many things, very few in fact, but this game deeply and personally hurt me and my passion- it essentially killed my hyperfixation in zelda)-

what i like would be much shorter; i like the sound the parasail makes when you use it in the rain, most music, you can have more horses, the underground is .. a neat idea (but badly executed), you can FINALLY touch the dragons (and in exchange they ruined them for me ...) and uhm ... master koga is there :3

(graphics and style is basically botws so that doesnt count though i still love that and .. the designs... mostly)

the short version; the writing sucks, the gameplay sucks, except for koga theres no character that is well written or enjoyable to me, the world design sucks, theres no connective tissue between botw (which isnt flawless by any means but i love it ..... or used to love it ..) and totk beyond it being called a sequel, pretty much every single one of botws flaws was doubled down on and i cannot believe how few people actually seem to realize this?? if you cared about anything botw and like thinking about things totk will stomp you with its hefty price tag bc it makes it clear it does not care and you are stupid for caring about anything, you should stop thinking and jsut take whatever they say no matter how little sense anything makes, every even mildly interesting idea is either never followed up on/expanded or is even actively contradicted in itself (which is soemthign this game is excellent at, constantly contradicting itself in every aspect but like .. like its unaware of it) it tries to do everything and thus commits to nothing, tries to please everyone and thus comes out saying nothing and meaning nothing and doing nothing, it loooooves to copy botw but gives it a different paintjob and makes it worse but presents it as better instead of actually adressing the issues botw had, ganondorf .... oh my dear ganondorf, you deserve to be in a better game *sniffs*, i have never before felt like im being made fun of by the game im playing, but now i have-

even the short version gets long (and i didnt even go into detail or into the reasoning q-q) but boi i have so many issues with this game its kinda fascinating, i have talked about alot of it but given tumblrs search likely still sucks it might be hard to impossible to find all those older rants njskfsdbjk

(if you dont care about ... text, or stories and just play it after work for mindless fun in short bursts it might not seem bad at all but once you start thinking it quickly and utterly crumbles, you might say i care to much and well, yeah, thats how hyperfixations work and i dont choose what to focus on either lol)

for a long while i used to try and sound the most tame and nice about it all but at some point of constantly being argued with (often aggressively) back when twitter used to be usable i started to not give a fuck anymore so if this may sound harsh, i have long gotten tired of all that so now im trying to literally just speak my mind with very little "what if i sound mean qoq" filter

How are you feeling about S17? I'm getting reaaal worried that it's going to be terrible. No Glenn in the writers room? A crossover episode?? Rob's gradual transformation into pondslime??? Help

Pondslime 😭Lmfao

I'm feeling more than fine about 17, really truly. I don't think anyone should be worried at all.

I think sometimes my interactions with Glenn come off a little more serious or abrasive than they really happened in real life (because we have to shout due to how loud it is in the bars), and my immediate transcription is just to get people *information*, which really doesn't convey tone.

For example, reporting that Glenn said "you don't want to know" in response to me asking for any teasers (as to plots this season) was met with a lot of "oh so this season is gonna suck" on Twitter, and that could not be further than the truth (sorry to the people I split-react blocked for saying that lol). In hindsight I get the reaction, because written out it's a response that can be easily misinterpreted and reads as potentially concerning, but know that when Glenn said "you don't want to know" he looked like this:

And when I was genuinely just asking for script information (regarding writers of individual scripts after he mentioned they had broken already) and mentioned Nina (Inflates) and Ross (DTAMHD), he gushed about both of them and then said, transcribed word for word, "It's been a good room, I'll say this it's been a great room. It's been an all-star room, it's been...like, breaking the stories this year has been really fun. [Me: Yeah?] Yeah. [That's great, that is great to hear.] It's been really fun."

So the idea of "no Glenn in the writers room" is really much more akin to Season 16 than 13/14. He was there to break stories (meaning he was in the room when they were brainstorming plot ideas and when they settled on which plots would be turned into scripts) but Rob and Charlie are taking the brunt of writing their (RCG's) scripts because of Sirens. This is the same thing that happened with The Gang Goes Bowling. Glenn's name is on the script, but Rob and Charlie wrote the majority of it while Glenn was shooting Blackberry. (I remember originally being convinced it was a mistake Glenn was listed as a writer for Bowling, lmfao). And Glenn is definitely still contributing, will be on revisions for the non-RCG scripts, and will classically change or improv whatever he thinks is best for Dennis when he's on set (see: the Risk E. Rats script).

Also, I know the crossover is concerning to a lot of people just given the nature of it, but as of what we know right now it's only on Abbott, so it's really just as if this season's The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell or The Janitor Always Mops Twice took place on a different show instead of ours...

I promise promise promise Glenn was clearly holding his tongue for good things coming up, and Friday night very much restored my confidence that Season 17 will be good. (But..if you don't think Glenn has good contributions to Sunny or understands the agenda, then sorry this response probably sucks lmfao)

Trying something outtt

[wildstar25]

I ran into an Erenville RPer in game today who would give out animal facts if you asked and they did give Arsay a fact it was a very cute interaction but it did remind me of the opening of dawntrail when Wuk lamat asks how far they were from the shore, and upon seeing sea birds I knew Arsay would respond that the birds meant they were close to shore only for Erenville to pop up like a second later and said the very same thing. It was such a cute little moment for me.
